Abstract

The magnetism of various copper(II) complexes of pyridine and quinoline N-oxides1 has been further investigated. The compounds Cu(C5H5NO)nX2 (where n = 4 or 6, X = ClO4; n = 2, X = Cl, Br, NCS; n = 1, X = Cl, Br, CH3COO) and Cu(C9H7NO)nX2 where n = 4, X = ClO4; n = 2, X = Cl, Br, NO3; n = 1, X = Cl, Br, CH3COO) have been studied. The variation of the magnetic susceptibilities of most of these compounds is reported over a temperature range. The variation of the magnetic susceptibility with temperature for the weakly paramagnetic complex Cu(C5H5NO)Cl2 is discussed in terms of the binuclear oxygen-bridged structure previously postulated.1 The compound exhibits anti-ferromagnetic interaction between pairs of copper(II) atoms with a singlet-triplet separation of 2.1 kcal/mole. The compounds Cu(C5H5NO)2Cl2, Cu(C5H5NO)Br2, and Cu(C9H7NO)X2 (X = Cl, Br) are more weakly paramagnetic due to a larger singlet-triplet separation. The compound Cu(C5H5NO)2Br2 possesses a higher paramagnetic susceptibility than those of the previous compounds, and its magnetic properties are consistent with a dimeric structure involving a singlet- triplet separation of 0.7 kcal/mole. The copper(II) acetate adducts, Cu(CH3COO)2,L (L = C5H5NO or C9H7NO), possess very similar magnetic properties to binuclear copper(II) acetate monohydrate and presumably possess a similar structure, with the N-oxides replacing the water molecules. These compounds exhibit singlet-triplet energies of c. 1 kcal/mole similar to values reported for a large number of copper(II) alkanoates. The compounds Cu(C5H5NO)2(NCS)2, Cu(C5H5NO)4(ClO4)2, Cu(C5H5NO)6- (ClO4)2, Cu(C9H7NO)2X2 (X = Cl, Br, NO3), all obey the Curie-Weiss law and possess mean magnetic moments of 1.89, 1.80, 1.93, 1.88, 1.96, and 1.88 B.M. (corrected for θ values of -12, -7, -8, + -4, and -16�) respectively.
